Objection.js VS node-mssql

Objection.js is a SQL-friendly ORM for Node.js that supports various relational databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. It provides a flexible and expressive query builder. Objection.js is known for its expressive syntax, allowing developers to build complex queries easily. It supports eager loading, transactions, and migrations.

I don't think there's a best per say, but we did recently use Objection on our project. Did the job well, only issue is there's no constructor for the DB Models but it's just something you work around (https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/)

If you aren't using TypeScript I'd very much recommend Objection.js, I've used it multiple times and no complaints so far. You can pass raw SQL queries to it as well so I'm sure it would be a good fit for your project!

I'd also like to point out objection js is no longer actively maintained. I'm going to switch my work's codebase from it eventually because of it.

You should look into Objection.js. IMHO using that will make your life much easier as it seems you are trying to reimplement it's features in this sample code.

Next, let’s set up the database for our newly created Nest application. I’ll be using PostgreSQL, but you can use any of the databases Knex supports. To interact with our database, we’ll be using Objection.js, which is an ORM for Node.js built on top Knex. For this tutorial, we’ll be using Nest Objection, a Nest module for Objection.

Not that often. They're more likely to be c#/java/native places. But there's no barrier really: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mssql

https://www.npmjs.com/package/mssql works like a charm. I have a lambda-based API that uses that library and does about 50k lookups per day with a 0% failure rate.

See this package for mssql example https://www.npmjs.com/package/mssql

I have an internal site that I develop that's a node.js server with express, reading from a SQL database. Currently using the mssql package to interact with the db. At different routes within the app, the route handlers read from the database and work their magic and render html. Super basic, there.

Here's a link to a package that allows you to connect Node with MSSQL: https://tediousjs.github.io/node-mssql/

What you can do is use Node.js along with the mssql library to build your site. You can either use templates and render pages on the server, or you can build out an API and write your browser client in a framework like React or Angular.

Microsoft SQL Server https://www.npmjs.com/package/mssql

I am developing an API using nodeJS and Typescript. I was looking for documentation/tutorials (like mssql - npm (npmjs.com) ) to implement a sql server pool with the sql server I have, but there´s a lot of ways to do it and it doesn´t works for me and does not used pool connection, only directly queries, so I will be so glad with you if you can help me. I've been stuck in this 2 days.
